Another WI Buck Down
 
Shot him sunday night the 20th in western WI, I waited about 45 mins or so for my dad to come help me track him. When we got to where i had shot him (about 10 yards from the stand) my dad noticed a small piece of matter on the ground that he said was guts which made my heart sink and stomach churn. We started tracking him anyway fearing it may rain that night and we wouldn't be able to find him the next day. After tracking him for 100 yards or so my dad and I spotted him laying down 15-20 yards in front of us still alive..... Immediately we decided to back out and just let him sit over night. Thankfully it didnt rain that night and at first light monday morning we started off where we last saw him. He wasn't there but we were able to continute tracking him, we tracked him about 50-75 more yards down the hill and finally found him laying in some tall grass at the base of the hill. Thankfully the rage 2 blade did its job and put some gaping holes in him to give us a good blood trail.

The sticker off his left G2 i believe makes him a 13 point

Nice work--fantastic buck. It must be nice to put em down this early in the season.

Congrats on a real nice buck! You handled the tracking situation perfectly. I read way too many post's about folks pushing their deer because they didn't allow near enough time for it to expire.

Where in Western WI are you located?

I hunt in LaCrosse, Vernon, and Buffalo (when my friend allows me to) counties. And I go to school at UW-LaCrosse

Congrats! If you got to 15-20 yards and he was still living, I bet you wished you had brought your bow with you to finish the job, huh? I almost always keep mine with me for the tracking job.

Cool... I hunted there last night, right on the river by UU. Seen one doe only, but once the frost and the rut come I think it will be go time!

yea all I could think about that night was why didnt I bring my bow and if he would still be there the next morning.
